Expert-led Physical Therapy for Pain, Injuries, & Prevention

Skillz Physical Therapy

At Skillz Physical Therapy, we believe that your body deserves dedicated care, so we deliver expert-led treatment focused only on you each session. No guesswork, no waiting for the therapist to finish with two other patients. Just your body, your goals, and a clinician whose full attention is dedicated to your recovery. We deliver precision treatments backed by science, experience, and advanced recovery techniques. Our clinic combines advanced modalities with deep clinical insight. Depending on your unique case, your treatment plan may include: • Dry Needling – releases stubborn muscle knots and trigger points that traditional massage can’t reach. • Extracorporeal ShockWave Therapy – uses acoustic waves to stimulate blood flow and tissue repair, helping tendon injuries heal faster. • Cupping and Laser Therapy – support circulation and speed up cellular recovery for post-surgery or chronic pain patients. Rediscover What It Feels Like to Be You Again. Whether you’re struggling with lower back pain, knee pain, TMJ, Vertigo, shoulder &amp; neck pain, or post-surgery treatment, Skillz Physical Therapy provides a space where your healing is personal, not procedural. We understand that pain isn’t just physical; it’s emotional. It’s the frustration of missing your morning walk, cutting short your bike rides along the Skokie path, or feeling like you can’t keep up with the people and activities that make you, you. At Skillz, you are more than a slot on a crowded schedule. We focused on one goal, helping you feel like yourself again.

Niles North High School

Northshore Concert Band presents American Dreams: A Program Inspired by the Enduring Ideals of the American Dream: Liberty, Peace, Justice, Integrity, Resilience, and Hope.
Commemorating the 250th anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence, Northshore Concert Band concludes its platinum anniversary season with a program that honors values that have shaped the nation and continue to inspire today.
Featuring music by Kevin Day, Julie Giroux, William Schuman, Fisher Tull, and Edwin Franko Goldman, the program celebrates themes of liberty, healing, duty, character, perseverance, and optimism through bold fanfares, reflective meditations, energetic portrayals of 1930s New York, and spirited marches that honor the enduring American spirit while bringing the season to a jubilant close.
The evening opens with Let Freedom Ring, a stirring tribute to liberty, where bold brass and radiant percussion that embody the resolve of the American people. Let Freedom Ring, an arrangement of My Country ‘tis of Thee, was penned as part of an audition for U.S. Marine Band staff arranger by SSgt. Ryan Nowlin and was performed by the Marine Band on January 21, 2013, at the second inaugural of President Barack Obama.
Kevin Day’s A Hymn for Peace follows with a reflective meditation on healing and renewal in the wake of personal and collective struggle. Written during a difficult period to promote mental health awareness and inner peace, it features intense, melodic, and cinematic moments.
Composed in 1971, Fisher Tull's beautiful and haunting Sketches on a Tudor Psalm, is based on a sixteenth century setting of the Second Psalm by Thomas Tallis. 
 “Integrity First,” from Julie Giroux’s No Finer Calling, draws on the ideals at the heart of the United States Air Force in a bold fanfare, processional, and march. Celebrating the 60th Anniversary of the United States Air Force (1947-2007), No Finer Calling is a symphony in three movements based on the United States Air Force Core Values of “Integrity First,” “Service Before Self,” and “Excellence In All We Do.”
The program turns to music inspired by American perseverance during the Great Depression. George Washington Bridge captures the drive and vitality of 1930s New York City, portraying it as a symbol of innovation, hope, and opportunity. William Schuman set this work in a bridge-like arch form comprised of three large sections to evoke several images of the bridge from different perspectives. 
To conclude both the concert and the platinum season, Goldman’s Cheerio March delivers a jubilant finish, celebrating the optimism and spirit that music can sustain in every era.
Ryan Nowlin - Let Freedom Ring 
Kevin Day - A Hymn for Peace
Fisher Tull - Sketches on a Tudor Psalm
